When he reached the top of a ridge he stood straight and proud in the moonlight, looking at Jim Hawkins' big white house, feeling the gun sagging in his pocket. Lawd, ef Ah had jus one mo bullet Ah'd taka shot at tha house. Ah'd like t scare ol man Hawkins jusa little ... Jusa enough t let im know Dave Saunders is a man. What message does the author give to the reader by using the phrase big white house in this context

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To show the readers that Mr. Hawkins was a rich landowner.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost A Man" is about a young teenage black boy's desire to be an adult. But through the process of trying to 'exhibit' himself as an adult, he learned that adulthood is a difficult and extensive journey that he cannot easily achieve.

In the given excerpt, Dave is seen with his gun looking at Mr. Hawkins' "big white house" which he wishes he "[could] taka shot at tha house . . . scare ol man Hawkins jusa little ... Jusa enough t let im know Dave Saunders is a man." And through the description of the house, we can infer that Mr. Hawkins is a rich, white landowner who Dave hates.

Answer:

How did suffragettes work to obtain the rights outlined in the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments?

Explanation:

The question refers to the Declaration of Sentiments (New York, July 1848), the document that arose from the Seneca Falls Convention to demand citizens' rights for American women and denounce the oppression they were subjected to by the government and the patriarchal society.

Out of the options provided, the most effective research question for this topic would be the one inquiring about the steps taken by the suffragettes to obtain those rights, as it would allow an analysis of their political movement and its result.

The option inquiring about the grievances included in the declaration wouldn´t require research beyond reading the text, so it wouldn´t be an effective research question.

The option inquiring about other women's rights conventions would be an interesting question, but not the most effective if we want to focus on this declaration.

And the option inquiring about the effect of the Declaration is too general, so it wouldn´t be as effective as the chosen answer.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.

But when cities or countries are accustomed to live under a prince, and his family is exterminated, they, being on the one hand accustomed to obey and on the other hand not having the old prince, cannot agree in making one from amongst themselves, and they do not know how to govern themselves. For this reason they are very slow to take up arms, and a prince can gain them to himself and secure them much more easily. But in republics there is more vitality, greater hatred, and more desire for vengeance, which will never permit them to allow the memory of their former liberty to rest; so that the safest way is to destroy them or to reside there.

What is Machiavelli’s primary purpose in writing this passage?

A. to inform readers about the differences between principalities and republics
B. to entertain readers with exciting stories of historical wars, conquests, and rebellions
C. to convince readers that, to hold a conquered republic, a prince must ruin it or live there
